If Ferran Torres splashed Roazhon Park with his talent for his first time in the Paris Saint-Germain jersey, Mika Godts did not necessarily make an impression on his debut with the reigning double European champions. Arriving in the City of Lights this summer from Ajax Amsterdam, the 21-year-old star had 45 minutes to showcase himself.

Signaled in an offside position on his first catch, he then struggled to unbalance the Rennes block.

Bravo for his entry, but I am also thinking of the entry of Godts, of Beraldo, of Fabian, of Akliouche”noted the Spanish technician. Despite this declaration, the native of Leuven will have to show much more to hope to worry the usual holder of the position Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. A very different observation if we look at the competition between Ousmane Dembélé and Ferran Torres…
